We were glad to meet in our Office last
week, Mr.. David II. Templcton, of Di-
al's Township, Laurcns county. Ho is
one of the most substantial and success
full farmers of that neighborhood. He
gave us an account of an exciting chase
Of monster wild cat on his plantation
few days ago. 1t was discovered first
by Mr.. Templcton's two litGlc sons, hy
its shrill and ngonizing cries which con-
sidcrably frightened one Of the boys.
They reported the fact to their father,
who with several of the noighbors took
dogs one night and gave tie maraudcr a
chase, and captured him. Mr.. Temple
ton thinks his mate is still at large, as
It's cries have since been heard These
animals must belong to the rear guard Of
the squad whose depradations on dogdom
have been rccountod by the Greenyille
News.
We had very pleasant visit last week
to the growing town Of Sonaca, and
through the instrumcntality of q dime
reading given at the Coleman Hotel, by
Mrs. G. +. Hoke, we met many of Sene-
cas- fair daughters and promising sons.
The recitations and music by the young
ladies were tasteful and elegant, aud
made the evening hours go swiftly by.
We dislike to criticize near neighbor,
but it does seem to us that tho Free
Press, in its account of this pleasant or-
ca9lon, should have made special mcn-
ton of the very elaborate, philosophical,
ard elegant talk made by Mr.. Ephraim
FrierSon. But every rosa has it's thorn.
We walked into the store Of brother Todd
just about dark and found him writing
by the dim light Of three inch canllr,
and Mt once asked him why be did not
ligh this lamps. "Thoy u.cdnll the oil ut
Pickcns i'll the Presbyterian Church, :"
said he, just as if that was tho subject
of his writing. Another PiGkcns man
came mp about that time wanted to know
why they did not light the street lamps,
and arothe:' Seneca man answered: owe
have sent all the oil to Pickens." And
many other things Of the Same impo1t
were hcapcd upon the three Pickcns ell
dera, who happened to be in Seneca that
night; and we know not how many lamp
and oil circulars the dcacons have receiv-
ed. Wo cannot let such things pass mn
resented, so when we get sufficient light,
we will see that brother Condor, of the
Messenger, makes amends.
